An original program developed in 2011 by Antoine Vignau for the Apple II platform. 
 

T40 is the result of a one-day programming session at home to answer to the request of Daniel "Krue" K. who has asked for a text screen editor. You know, be able to create 40x24 ASCII art screens that are used in programs/demos or as cracktros (intro screen of cracks). 

Please read the documentation for further information. The source code is included in the disk image. 

Current version is 1.2 (18/AUG/2011) 

 


Excerpt from the documentation: 


WHAT IS IT?
It is a 40x24 screen text editor. A perfect tool for creating ASCII art or cracktros.
A big "Thanks" to Krue for the logo.

HOW TO USE IT?
Launch the startup BASIC program. Yeah! You're done!

When you quit the program, your created ASCII art screen (interlaced) will be located at $2000, 
just enter the following BASIC command to store it to disk:
	BSAVE MYNAME,A$2000,L1024
A second art screen (non-interlaced, each line is CR-terminated) is located at $2400, 
enter the following BASIC command to store it to disk:
	BSAVE MYTEXT,A$2400,L984
